ABOUT THE WELLESLEY GARDEN STUDY GROUP:
The Wellesley Garden Study Group begun in 1953 is a member of the Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts. With over 75 members it is the second oldest of the 5 Garden Clubs in Wellesley. In addition to the education of its members in Horticulture, Design and Conservation, it does active outreach to the Massachusetts Audubon Society, New England Wildflower Society and the Arnold Arboretum. In town, using money raised through its annual auction fundraiser, the club provides garden therapy for the elderly and encourages children to assist with the front entrance plantings at the Wellesley Middle School and the courtyard at the High School. The main street of Wellesley is enhanced by members tending The Friendly Aid Garden and donating daffodil bulbs to Simon’s park at the corner of Brook Street.
